No luck on this end. It does, however, seem to get just a little bit 
further into the "Initializing POV-Ray Library" process before 
displaying the alert briefly and then crashing with:

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

Which seems - on the whole - unrelated to the "something seems out of

Heh. Just when you get used to typing one year, it turns out to be the 
wrong one. :)
